"Is there truly no room for negotiation in this matter?"
With a grave expression, the Shen family patriarch spoke again. If the Wuji Divine Sect truly intended to act, it would undoubtedly inflict immense damage upon the Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects.
"When the Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects went to our Wuji Divine Sect, did they ever consider this?" the Wuji Sect Master sneered. "Now that it has come to this, they can only blame their own arrogance. How dare they kill Elder Zhulong within our Wuji Divine Sect!"
"One person's actions, one person bears the consequences. This matter was originally mine, and it has nothing to do with the Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects!"
Old Master Chen stepped forward, his gaze fixed on the Wuji Sect Master. "If you wish to deal with me, then come at me directly. Spare the others and spare us the conflict between two major sects."
"Grandpa Chen, how can this be? The Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects are united. If anyone dares to oppose you, the Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects will not stand idly by!"
Sister Zhao quickly said, "Moreover, although the Wuji Divine Sect has brought many experts, the Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects are not to be trifled with!"
Old Master Chen remained silent, his eyes fixed on the Wuji Sect Master. As long as the Wuji Sect Master agreed, everything would be easily resolved. After all, this matter was originally his own, and it had no connection with the entire Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects.
"You are thinking too simply. With so many experts from the Wuji Divine Sect gathered here, do you really think they are joking with you?"
The Wuji Sect Master let out a cold laugh. "No one can stop what is about to happen here."
"If that is the case, then let us fight!" Old Master Han said coldly. "The Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects have never feared a fight. If the Wuji Divine Sect insists on this path, then we can only fight!"
"Since that's the case, why waste more words!" the Wuji Sect Master laughed, his eyes carrying a chilling intent. "You might as well end yourselves, to avoid our Wuji Divine Sect having to act. After all, it would be too unsightly then."
"End yourselves? Your arrogance knows no bounds!"
With a faint smile, the Shen family patriarch said coldly, "In all the years the Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects have been established, we have never heard such overbearing words. Even with the Lin family backing the Wuji Divine Sect, we of the Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects have no fear!"
"Patriarch Shen, why be so stubborn? Since you are all doomed today, why put up such a fight!" the Wuji Sect Master smiled faintly.
"No need for further words. If you want to fight, we will fight. The Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects have never been afraid!"
The Shen family patriarch spoke coldly, his eyes filled with a chilling glint. At the same time, he looked at the other disciples of the Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects. "Are any of you afraid? If so, step aside!"
"We are all the young talents of the Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects. How could we be intimidated by them?"
The younger generation of the Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects spoke, their eyes filled with fierce determination. In their eyes, the actions of the Wuji Divine Sect were simply courting death.
"With your words, I can finally rest assured!"
The Shen family patriarch nodded slightly, a look of joy in his eyes. After all, this matter was extremely critical. If they could not perfectly weather this calamity, the entire Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects would be destroyed, a fate they could not accept.
It was a pity that at this juncture, this was all they could do.
"Wuji Divine Sect, all listen to my command! The Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects will be annihilated today. No one needs to hold back!"
The Wuji Sect Master spoke, his eyes cold. To deal with the Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects, he would not hesitate in the slightest.
At the same time, the sects of the Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects unleashed their world-shattering combat power, their figures soaring into the sky. Every sect of the Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects had its younger generation, and now, at this critical juncture, they would undoubtedly push their strength to the limit.
"My brother and sister, with the great enemy upon us, we cannot concern ourselves with personal affections!"
Xu Fei spoke, his gaze sweeping over the younger generation of the Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects. "This time, we must strike directly at the heart and show the Wuji Divine Sect that the Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects are not to be humiliated!"
"Let them know! Let them know!"
The disciples shouted in unison, their eyes burning with fury. In their view, the Wuji Divine Sect was simply too arrogant, not taking the Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects seriously at all. Otherwise, things would not have escalated to this point.
"You all charge with me. If you can leave the Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects, head south to the Assassin Dynasty and seek reinforcements!" Sister Zhao said. She knew very well that the only one who could resolve the crisis of the Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects at this moment was the Assassin Dynasty. As long as Lu Fan arrived, the Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects would be safe and sound.
After all, only Lu Fan possessed such power. Once the divine artifact appeared, even the Wuji Divine Sect would have to retreat.
Meanwhile, within the Assassin Dynasty, Lu Fan was in closed-door cultivation when he saw Guiying and Mudan enter from outside, their expressions appearing somewhat flustered.
"What has happened? Why do you look so anxious?" Lu Fan asked, his expression one of surprise.
"It's not good! Something major has happened!"
Guiying said urgently, "Something big has happened to the Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects. They might be annihilated before long. That would be extremely troublesome!"
"The Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "What exactly happened? Explain clearly. Who wants to annihilate the Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects?"
"Who else but the Wuji Divine Sect!" Guiying said. "I just received the news, and I know that the Sect Leader has a considerable connection with the Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects. If such a thing truly happens, the Sect Leader will not stand by idly, which is why I specifically came to report!"
"The Wuji Divine Sect has remarkable courage to dare to attack the Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects when they are unprepared. Do they want their sect annihilated!" Lu Fan's eyes flashed with a cold light and overwhelming killing intent. That day, in the Wuji Divine Sect, the Wuji Sect Master had not acted rashly. He never expected them to dare to attack the Nine Provinces and Eighteen Sects this time, making it impossible for him to tolerate.
"Sect Leader, please do not be careless. The Wuji Divine Sect is not as simple as it appears," Guiying quickly said. "Sect Leader may not be aware, but the Wuji Divine Sect has the Lin family backing them. If we truly antagonize the Lin family, it will not be good for the Assassin Dynasty!"
